Profile:
Hugh Morris has been one of the most consistent and successful batsmen in the
Welsh county's history, and despite being one of county cricket's
most reliable batsmen, the gritty left hander only won 3 Test
caps. Morris made his county debut in 1981 whilst still at
Blundell's School, where he set a host of batting records. After
playing for, and captaining, Young England in the mid 1980's,
Morris became Glamorgan's youngest ever leader in 1986. He stood
down from the captaincy at the end of the 1989 season in order to
concentrate on his batting - it was a move which reaped its rewards in
1990 as he hit a club record 10 centuries and 2276 runs.
Morris returned to the captaincy in 1993 and led Glamorgan to the
Sunday League title. He also captained England A to South Africa, West
Indies, and Sri Lanka, but at the end of the 1995 season, he handed
over the reins to Matthew Maynard. Morris is
currently the club's leading run scorer in limited overs cricket
and in May 1996 hit 202 against Yorkshire.in the opening match of the
season. He repeated the feat in the opening match of the 1997 season,
recording a career best 233* against Warwickshire at Cardiff. 1997 was to be
Hugh's final season of county cricket, and he ended his playing career on a
high note as the county won the Championship, and in his final game at
Taunton, Hugh hit 165 to equal Alan Jones' record of 52 centuries in
first-class cricket. With 13 centuries in other games, Hugh has scored more
hundreds for Glamorgan than any other batsman, and his first-class aggregate
of 18,520 runs places him in fourth place in the county's all-time list of
run scorers. He retired to take up the post of Technical Coaching Director
with the ECB.
